Comments about their colors would be wellcome !!
This Dora is interesting.

Some notes for discussion:
- Focke-Wulf -built (21xxxx)
- 81 Green ("83", or maybe brown)?/82 Green/Light Green(Green-blue) fuselage and wings (with additional 82 mist over fuselage sides? Tail replaced at some point?)
- Patch of 81 Brown mottle showing from behind the tree
- What is very curious is that the lighter shade (82) is dominating the fuselage, with other Doras it is commonly seen the other way around.
- The exhaust residue seems considerable, but there are no markings? Can this be linked to the area somehow?
- Lack of mottling around the tail plug and domination of lighter shade over fuselage reminds me (Although the fuselage colour distribution can't be confirmed) of "White 13 '210982'" in Crandall's book
